Pharmacy First

RX$HARE PROGRAM

Gain Access to Market Share &

Performance Based Rebate Programs

With No Up-Front Fees

 

IPA is pleased to announce a new contract award to Pharmacy FirstSM, a national network of over 5,000 independent pharmacies.  This program was designed to gain access to marketshare and performance based rebate programs, typically available only to the chains, that creates a revenue source for community pharmacy.  An average quarterly rebate check equals $400 - $600 per store.

 

The Pharmacy First program:

·        Gives independents access to marketshare, persistence and           compliance programs like the chains.

·        Pharmacies have no out-of-pocket expenses (there is never a          balance due from a participating member).

·        Pharmacy First is not a buying group.  Your enrollment does not affect your affiliation with any other organization or wholesaler program.

·        Quarterly Rebate Checks are distributed to participating members.

·        Pharmacy First has affiliations with over 13 pharmacy software suppliers to process the data for these programs.

 

THERE IS NO DOWNSIDE TO JOIN!

 

For more information, please call Pharmacy First’s Customer Service at 1-888-800-3784.

 

Note:  Please mention your membership in IPA.

VISA / MASTERCARD PROGRAM

 

If We Don’t Save Money on the Cost of Operations,

We Won’t Survive the Cuts in Reimbursement!

 

 

THIS PROGRAM WITH HEARTLAND IS A NO BRAINER.  The rate through the IPA/Heartland program beats every other group in the marketplace due to IPA’s membership of over 2100 pharmacies!

Even if you recently changed to a new Visa/MasterCard program that saved you money, you’ll discover Heartland’s rates are substantially lower.  This savings, which easily offsets the cancellation fee, has saved many members $200 per month or more.  It doesn’t hurt to get a comparison.

As always, the choice to change vendors is yours alone.  A Heartland representative will visit your store at your convenience for a comparison.  If you would like a confidential analysis, please send your statement to IPA and we will report the savings back to you.

The IPA/Heartland rate beats every other Visa/MasterCard program in the marketplace because members pay only a flat monthly fee and Heartland’s direct cost of processing.  There are no hidden fees, you stay with your own bank and you are protected from price increases due to the IPA agreement.

FYI:  Heartland is a public company that is governed by all the new federal regulations designed to protect the merchant.  The NASDAQ symbol for Heartland is HPY.
